|March 16, 2025
The back-to-back killings of two police officers within 72 hours in Bihar have renewed concerns about the law-and-order situation in the poll-bound state even as Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha asserts that the police have been given a free hand to rein in anti-social elements.
Santosh Kumar Singh, a 54-year-old assistant sub-inspector of police (ASI), died after being assaulted with a sharp-edged weapon in Munger district late on Friday. He was rushed to a government hospital in Munger but later referred to a private hospital in Patna. He died during treatment at the hospital on Saturday.
